Be an engaged rider, focused on the road. Watch out for distracted drivers.

Always ride sober, including avoiding prescription medications that may affect how you ride.

Be courteous and respectful of other motorists; share the road.

Follow at a safe distance - two seconds behind the vehicle in front of you is best in ideal conditions. Allow more time and distance in bad weather, heavy traffic, or as you approach curves and intersections.

Stay in your lane. Other motorists are more likely to see you when you're in a travel lane.

Obey traffic laws, especially speed limits.

Always use turn signals.

Pretend you're invisible to drivers or other vehicles; take precautions to be seen, including wearing bright colors and using your headlight at all times.

Motorcycle safety tips for drivers

Be respectful and courteous; share the road.

Use turn signals to change lanes or merge into traffic.

Check mirrors and blind spots before changing lanes.

Watch for motorcycles with turn signals flashing. Wait until they turn or the driver turns the signal off, because unlike cars, motorcycle signals don't always have auto-cancel.

Watch for sudden moves by motorcycles due to road hazards, such as potholes or debris.

When following a motorcycle, travel at a safe distance, recommended to be three or four seconds. They can stop quicker than a car, and you need to be ready to stop, too.
